Pro Philosopher 2 News

Have you ever wondered how Pro Philosopher works? Well wonder no more! Pro Philosopher runs on a custom scripting language that allows us to deliver almost twice the amount of philosophy per statement compared to other leading brands. That's a completely made up statistic that you can trust!

We want to share exactly how making Pro Philosopher 2 works! But this isn't a normal behind-the-scenes peek, oh no. We are going to be writing the greatest argument of all time, and YOU are going to decide who is doing the arguing and what they are arguing about!

We will then record the entire scripting process, from writing dialogue to coding the argument itself, and share the entire journey with you on TikTok!

Inspired by the incredibly humble legacy of John Locke, democracy shall rule the day. Make your vote count!

Head over to Twitter to pick our first challenger from Confucius, Locke, and Jennifer!



Then you get to join our Discord to choose our second contender between Machiavelli, The Arbiter, and Ari.



Finally, take a jaunt over to our Tumblr to choose the topic of debate. I could tell you the options, but I don't want to spoil it for you.



We're sure you already have some favorites among all these incredible candidates, so don't be afraid to campaign for your bias!

Each of these polls is only going to last a day, so don't wait! Head over immediately to participate in...

[h3]THE GREAT EN-POLL-ENING[/h3]

The scope of Pro Philosopher 2 is MUCH larger than the first game, but so far, we've only really shown two philosophers: Confucius and Machiavelli. So... where are all the others? Are they hiding under a bush?

Well, one fellow could not be contained any longer... presenting the latest member of the Pro Philosopher 2 cast:

(People keep telling us what philosophers they want in the game, which makes us feel a bit like we're working on philosophical Smash Bros. So we leaned into a bit!)

As always, we're making steady progress towards the release of Pro Philosopher 2. Big updates will be shared here, but if you're interested seeing more of how the game develops over time, join our growing discord community!

Hey!

Did you know we have a Discord where you can see all the latest updates and… wait, who is that hiding in the background?

Do you think if we can guess who it is, they might reveal themselves? 🤔🤔🤔

The Pro Philosopher team is going to be at PAX, at Seattle Indies Expo!

Here are the event deets:
Sun, Sept 3rd, 12pm - 9pm
3rd floor @ Motif Hotel, 1415 5th Ave, Seattle WA

It's also completely free! You can swing by without a PAX badge!

At the event, we'll have the FIRST PLAYABLE DEMO of Pro Philosopher 2, as well as some tidbits that will give you an early tease of some of the other philosophers featured in the game that we are not ready to share online just yet. Come meet us, say hi, and let us know what you think! We'd love to meet you!

It's been ten years since Intelligible Games graced us with Socrates Jones: Pro Philosopher, an Ace Attorny style argue 'em up where you confront a cavalcade of philosophers in an attempt to uncover the ultimate nature of morality. Also you're dead, and there are lots of silly jokes.

I loved it, so I'm very pleased that the devs have just announced that Pro Philosopher 2: Governments and Grievances will be out at some point in 2024. It's nearly time to get down and dirty with political philosophy, baby.
